Tloma Lodge
Tloma Lodge has been built on the foothills of the highlands of Ngorongoro, a small and exclusive lodge with 24 small cottages built in colonial style and 12 rooms overlooking the garden in the main building. The design of the entire complex looks to create an atmosphere evoking the colonial plantations and farms described in many books and films.
The excellent location of Tloma on the top of a valley offers fantastic views over a coffee plantation and the walls of the Ngorongoro cráter which can be enjoyed from the private terraces of the rooms.
The gardens, full of flowers and bushes, are particularly attractive, although guests find it difficult to choose between a walk around the gardens or relaxing around the heated pool.

An original form of accommodation that resembles the old camps of the first explorers in Africa, with all the commodities of today. Located a two-hour drive along a panoramic route from the Olduvai Museum and the river Grumeti, two of the indispensable visits for all travelers to Tanzania.

Location
Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti area includes Serengeti National Park, which with its 14,763 square kilometers is one of the largest and certainly the best-known national parks in the world and has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and the 23,051 km² biosphere reserve since 1981. To the southwest of the national park is the 2,200 km² Mazwa game reserve, located at 1,000 to 1,500 meters above sea level, and to the north of the corridor is the Grumeti reserve with around 2,000 to 3,000 km². In addition, the 3000 km² Ikorongo Conservation Area borders the Serengeti.
Between the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the state border lies the Loliondo Conservation Area; the northern end of the Serengeti ecosystem is in the Maasai Mara Reserve. This park is also home to the "Big Five", the elephants, leopards, lions, rhinos and buffalo. In addition, countless other animal species live in the Serengeti, for example, more than 500 different species of birds.
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park is a national park in northern Tanzania. It is 2850 km² in size and is located southwest of Arusha near Lake Manyara at an altitude of 1000 to 1500 m above sea level. The annual rainfall is 600 mm. Tarangire National Park was founded in 1970. Among other things, Tarangire National Park is home to plains zebras, wildebeests, impalas, waterbucks, lesser kudus, African buffaloes, giraffes, hippos, warthogs, lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, African wild dogs, mongooses, anubis baboons, southern vervet monkeys and 300 species of birds. The black rhinoceros, once found in large numbers, has become extinct. The number of elephants was 3,000 from 1977 to 1987; in
Tarangire National Park, including the Simanjiro area, over 5,000 elephants were counted in May 1988 and over 6,000 elephants in the dry season. Another count showed 6,110 individuals in 1987. During the rainy season, the majority of the animals migrate far beyond the boundaries of the national park - until the green plains are bare and returned to the banks of the Tarangire River. However, the approximately 4,000 elephants remain behind, so that Tarangire in northern Tanzania is also widely known as the “Elephant Park”.
Arusha National Park
Arusha National Park is the closest national park to the city of Arusha, the northern safari capital of Tanzania. It is a multi-faceted gem that is often overlooked by safari drivers, despite the opportunity to explore a tantalizing variety of habitats within a few hours. The entrance gate leads into the shady mountain forest inhabited by curious blue monkeys and colorful turacos and trogons - the only place on the northern safari circuit where the acrobatic black-and-white colobus monkey can be easily seen.
In the middle of the forest is the spectacular Ngurdoto Crater, whose steep, rocky cliffs enclose a wide swampy floor with herds of buffalo and warthogs. Further north, rolling grassy mountains surround the tranquil beauty of the Momela Lakes, each a different shade of green or blue. Its shallows sometimes turn pink with thousands of flamingos, the lakes are home to a rich array of local and migrant waterfowl, and shaggy waterbucks display their large lyre-shaped horns at the watery edges. Giraffes glide over the grassy hills between grazing herds of zebra, while pairs of dik-dik dart into the bush like overgrown rabbits on spindly legs. Although elephants are not uncommon in Arusha National Park and lions are entirely absent, leopards and spotted hyenas can be seen prowling around in the early morning and late afternoon.
It is also at dusk and dawn that the veil of clouds on the eastern horizon is most likely to lift, revealing the majestic snow-capped peaks of Kilimanjaro, just 50 km away. But it is Kilimanjaro's humble cousin, Mount Meru - the fifth highest in Africa at 4,566 meters - that dominates the park's horizon. With its peaks and eastern slopes protected in the national park, Meru offers unparalleled views of its famous neighbor while also being a worthwhile hiking destination. The climb from Meru first passes through wooded savannahs where buffalo and giraffes are common, into forests burning red-hot pokers and dripping Spanish moss. Everlasting flowers cling to the alpine desert while delicately hoofed klipspringers mark the migration's progress. On the jagged peak, Kilimanjaro stands exposed, blushing in the sunrise.
Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara National Park takes its name from a plant called Euphorbia Tirucalli, known as Emanyara in the Maasai language. The Maasai use this plant to protect their boma (hedge). The park was declared a national park in 1960 and declared a human and biosphere reserve in 1981. The park has an area of 648.7 km2, of which 262.7 km2 is covered by lake and 386 km2 (240 sq mi) is dry land. The park's rainfall pattern is bimodal with short rains from November to December and long rains from February to May. The dry season lasts from late June to October. The annual mean temperature is 26.5 °C, the average temperature is 11.3 °C and the relative humidity is between 20 and 40 °C of 45%-85%.
